Harmanpreet throws her weight behind Yastika

Yastika Bhatia leads Mumbai Indians in Women's Premier League despite competition from rising star Kamalini.
While Yastika Bhatia may be India’s second-choice keeper in the national setup, she remains the top pick for the Mumbai Indians in the Women’s Premier League.
However, there may be some competition for the southpaw from G. Kamalini, the new kid on the block who announced her arrival with a sterling outing during India’s triumphant U19 World Cup campaign.
Ahead of the upcoming edition of WPL, MI captain Harmanpreet Kaur threw her weight behind Yastika.
“Last year was really good for Yastika. And Kamalini has been brought in as a promising under-19 player.
“Our support staff is going to polish her skills, she needs to work very hard,” Harmanpreet said here on Wednesday at the pre-season media interaction. “To replace Yastika is difficult for me to believe. But we have a few days left for the season where we will play a few practice matches.
“At this time, it’s great to see so much competition for places in the team. The new faces we have picked are good, so it’s going to be an exciting season for me as a captain and for the team as well.”
